“The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.”

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

We lift ourselves by our own thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves.

There is no medicine like hope.

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

Our thoughts and imaginations are the only real limits to our possibilities.

A woman who is self-reliant, positive, optimistic, and undertakes her work with the assurance of success magnetizes her condition. She draws to herself the creative powers of the universe.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

The secret of happiness is in a cheerful, contented mind. He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and can enjoy what others own.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

No one has a corner on success. It is his who pays the price.

There is no law by which one can, as long as he thinks he can’t.

Worry clogs the brain and paralyzes the thought. A troubled brain can not think clearly, vigorously, locally.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them… they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

You now have to decide what ‘image’ you want for your brand. Image means personality. Products, like people, have personalities, and they can make or break them in the market place.

What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.

I don’t take right decisions, I take decisions and make them right

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I’ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it’s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them.

I decided to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time – go get a chef and a nutritionist – and I brought them on board.

I strongly believe that appearance is important, as it’s the first impression you get, but that is definitely not the deciding factor.

Wait, I’m deciding to be my own individual self. And it looks nothing like what anyone else is doing.
